The City of Melbourne has installed 80 new tactile street signs to assist residents and visitors who are blind or have vision impairments to move around the CBD safely.
The City of Melbourne consulted Vision Australia, Vic Roads and Health Science Planning Consultants on the project as part of the Disability Action Plan 2014-2017, to create a more inclusive and accessible city for everyone.
Features of the signs include:
- high contrast colours to assist people with low vision
- braille labels indicating street names
- accessible height (plates attached to signposts at eye-level)
The new signs are located at 10 major CBD intersections.
